2 x 100BASE-SX-LX fiber. Similar to the EL1141 series media converter, the EL1142 includes the hardened construction and high performance needed for mission critical applications, including power substation automation. However, the EL1142 series offers twice the port density in the same housing dimensions, providing greater flexibility and requiring less space for installation.
Open the carton and unpack the items. Your package should include an EL1142 media converter, this Quick Install Guide, and a CD containing the user’s manual. If items are missing or damaged, notify your EtherWAN representative. Select Installation Location Installation is DIN-rail, panel or rack mounting. Ensure that the power source is within 6 feet (1.8 meters), and check that there is adequate airflow.
Connect Power The media converter is equipped with an eight-contact terminal block. The terminal block provides dual DC power inputs, and a relay output contact. Redundant power supply is supported, but only one power input is required for operation. Note that the media converter does not have a power switch; it is turned on/off by connecting/disconnecting power.
LED Indicators State Indication Steady Power redundancy or port malfunction Fault (Red) Power redundancy and ports functioning normally Steady Power 1 on Power1 (Green) Power 1 off Steady Power 2 on Power2 (Green) Power 2 off Steady Connection at 100Mbps 100 (Mbps) Connection at 10Mbps Steady...
DIP Switches Port, power and LFPT settings are made very simple by means of two sets of six DIP (Dual Inline Package) switches on the top panel of the hardened media converter. Default position for all DIP switches is ‘0’. Switch Disable LFPT Enable LFPT...
Relay Output Alarm The media converter is equipped with relay output contacts on the terminal block for signaling of a power or port failure. The relay output can be connected to an alarm signaling device. Current is 0.6A @ 30VDC. Default is PW1 and PW2 both off and points 2 & 3 open. Relay contact PW1 PW2 Point...
